SIMPLY JOKING (7) returns from a ten weeks break after closing last prep with two wins on end, the latest over 1m1/4f win in stakes class at Fairgrounds (Dirt). Same rider aboard from the last win - leading player. QUIETSIDE (5) scored by one length last start over this journey in the G3 Honeybee Stakes at this track (Dirt). Is yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Leading player. CALIFORNIA SUNSET (2) has been racing well and is poised to break through after four minor placings in a row, the latest when third over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Florent Geroux has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Certainly one to consider. KINZIE QUEEN (3) put the writing on the wall last start when she was beaten just 0.3 lengths into second over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
